These files can be used to replicate the tables and figures from the following article: Dancey, Logan, Kjersten Nelson, Eve Ringsmuth, and Emma Solomon. �Invoking Precedent: Discussion of Supreme Court Decisions at Circuit Court Confirmation Hearings.� American Politics ResearchCaseleveldataset.dta has case-level information and can be used with caselevelanalyses.do to reproduce Table 1 and Figure 2 from the paper, various predicted probabilities and alternative specifications discussed in the paper, and Table A.3 in the online appendix. The vast majority of the variables in the dataset come from the Spaeth et al. (2017) (http://supremecourtdatabase.org/). The variable salienceest is a media salience measure from Clark et al. (2015) and the WordLog_zscore variable is a measure of justice salience from Black et al. (2013). The variables any_mention_trunc is a binary variable measuring whether the case was mentioned within four years of the decision (including the fourth year) for cases from 1993-2008. The variable any_mention is a binary variable measuring whether a case was ever mentioned in our timespan. The variable all_mention_trunc measures the number of times a case was mentioned within four years of the decision (including the fourth year) for cases from 1993-2008. The variable all_mention measures the number of times a case was mentioned in our timespan.Figure1Data.dta and FigureA1data.dta can be used with Figure1.do to recreate Figure 1 in the paper and Figure A.1 in the online appendix. These datasets have a nominee-senator dyad as the unit of analysis. Figure 1Data.dta has nominee-senator pairings for all senators who asked at least one question at a hearing. FigureA1data.dta has nominee-senator pairings for all senators on the Judiciary Committee regardless of whether they asked a question at the hearing. Information on Judiciary Committee members come from the Stewart and Woon (2009) dataset (http://web.mit.edu/17.251/www/data_page.html#2). The variable any_mention is coded �1� if the senator mentioned a Supreme Court case at the nominee�s hearing and �0� if not.    Triad.dta can be used with triad.do to replicate the section of the online appendix titled Analyses with Senator-Nominee-Case Triads. The unit of analysis in Triad.dta is the nominee-senator-case triad. Cases are included if they were decided within four years of the date of the nominee hearing and senators are included only if they asked at least one question at a hearing. To determine whether a case was decided within the last four years, we use the year of the hearing and the year of decision, so the dataset includes cases mentioned within four years of the decision (including the fourth year). Data on Judiciary Committee members again comes from the Stewart and Woon database. The variable mentionrecent is a binary measure of whether a case was mentioned within four years of the decision (including the fourth year).  CaseMentionstoPost.xlsx has information on each Supreme Court case reference we documented during the circuit court hearings from 1993-2008. Case Name Informal is our casename, and CaseName is the name from the Spaeth et al. (2017) dataset. Caseid is a unique identifier also based on the Spaeth et al. (2017) dataset. IdNumber is a unique id for each nominee-hearing (some nominees have multiple hearings), and MentionsID is a unique id for each entry in the dataset. Please feel free to contact Logan Dancey at ldancey [at] wesleyan [dot] edu if you would like any additional information on how the datasets were assembled or general questions about the data.   SourcesBlack, Ryan C., Maron W.
